Why am I just learning this now?

Portland Oregon, where Matt Groening once lived, has the following streets:

Terwilliger Boulevard
Lovejoy Street
Flanders Street
Van Houten Avenue
Quimby Street

In Eugene, where Groening grew up, there's a geographical landmark called "Skinner's Butte."

Sorry to you Oregonians to whom this is old news.
